Thank Lord For 606v2!

A lot of talk lately about the forum and where members have gone. I won't mention names or the other forum in question, but I went over there and I have to say that it is the poorest example of a tennis forum I have encountered. The fact that posters there before members from here descended there have been shocked and appalled by the nature of the posters views and the aggression makes me thankful that 606v2 has not imploded or suffered as a result of the recent exodus. If they are reading this as guests or with their user-names, I have to say you should be ashamed. It does reek of poison some of the views.

A big thanks to you all even if sometimes I have my moments and for making this forum slightly more peaceful.

to the mods and to the posters.

Oh crikey what happened? Link?

You want LK to post a link to another forum? Are you trying to get him into trouble?

JHM it's my understanding that it is absolutely fine to post links to other forums. As long as you aren't encouraging people to leave for that forum. I cleared this up ages ago.

How come we mere posters don't get ?

I am not posting links

There are enough clues around to where it was I went. And honestly I could not believe what I was reading over there. The forum has well and truly been hijacked there.

Well ok lk, but freedom of speech means we should be able to post links to wherever - as I say I cleared this up ages ago and mods should be aware of their limits too.

Here's a clue, use the same numbers and ja.

There is a thread about a certain Spanish bottom scratcher and the comments are extreme beyond belief.

I won't say anymore

ok thx lk!

I know the forum of which you speak and it is indeed pretty er .... uninspiring.

That's my polite description.

(reckoner : rest assured : you ain't missing nothing ....)

thanks for the heads up lags!

It is quite shocking lags.

I know freedom of speech and what not and it is great that here they never let up with the restrictions as you can see what has happened there. I was gobsmacked by how brutal it was.

We all make choices. Let us not talk ill of any one. Forgive and forget.

I am glad that there is a home for posters and discussions somewhere on the vast Internet, to accommodate various points of view, no matter how radical.

I have so many limits, it's hard to keep track of them all!

The rule is "No advertising of other sites that include forums – failure to comply may result in temporary or permanent ban from this site. It is our decision on if we believe the mention of another site is deemed to be advertising." So I don't blame LK for not taking the risk.

Neither do I after you said he'd get into "trouble".

In this context such a link would not be advertising in any case.

Aye, I am not speaking ill as it were, but I was just amazed by the changes in attitude in what I thought were sensible posters.

Also I decided to toast 606v2 because the controls in place make this forum a much amicable and diplomatic place to be.

Hear hear LK

I like it here too but won't be nannied, do you hear me!!

I too am appalled to discover people appalled in the discovery of the appalling state of appalling forums and thank the lord for the laudable people that lord it over the laudable sites in which I too conjoin with them in laudable activities.

I think this deserves another tea break with added doughnuts. :can't find the jam doughnut smiley:

I wish I could post a smiley LK but mine appear to have gone on strike for some reason but :clap: :bubbly: to you and 606v2.. I am a recent returnee as you know I vacated some months ago. Like you I have dared to have a peek.. only to find that I was being talked about... now thats not nice is it.?? :D

But I agree with you LK.. if the place had doors on it .. there would be vile green stuff ooozing under them .

@ Nore : By the soggy snorts of Sampras you've summed it up perfectly! Gadzooks!

cos you're an amateur?

There is a different style and different approach, if another forum encourages aggressive threads so be it, people have choices and they might still like to involve in both forums, to say one forum is better than other is like saying my daddy is bigger than yours.

I stick to the forum I am comfortable with and right now its 606v2, I haven't tried other forums and I don't have to as long as I am comfortable here and hence I am least worried how other forums are.

Well I checked out the "other place" and tbh can't see what was so shocking?

606v2 is a community, and like all communities is a giant cookie, with lots of nuts and chocolate chips, all made with the love of mothers home made cooking [1] :giant cookie goes here:

agreed i was there today but got fed up with all the abuse hurled this way and that wasn't good at all. tried to break it up and succeeded... for now

I can't stand home made cooking. Years of living in Scotland have accustomed my system to subsist entirely on haggis suppers with broon sauce.

thats the way the cookie crumbles

must be, right?

I had a look too, it appears all the comments maybe being referred by LK have been deleted but you can see a poster saying several times there's no need to get personal, etc. Anyway, like HN I've seen myself and others from here being slated on there beforetimes so I wont be frequenting the place thats for sure. Each to their own.

Viva la 606v2

I can only say cheers Lydian

hooray Ive got a smiley lol

I suppose it is living evidence of what can and will happen if posters are left to their own devices. Here and now this forum is now a far more tolerable, peaceful and good-natured place to post with far less ill feeling.

Wow, that forum is the same as 606 in look. I wonder if they legally used their code (got premission), illegally used it (stole it thorugh hacking) or just reverse engineered it?

im done with the other forum it is an utter disgrace some of the things they have been saying and they are unashamed of what they have said its a joke!
you are right legendkillarv2 'thank lord for 606v2'

I don't think I have seen a thread there which hasn't descended into name calling and bickering LS.

i was dragged into it for supporting this poster who was taking so much flak for one posters shocking comments, just pathetic.
Not nice people, just no need for it.

Yes I also say that. I was wondering whether to join ja606 or 606v2 but now I have decided to join 606v2. I think I have made the right choice, this seems like a really nice forum
Yes on ja606 there was some poster called Tezez and Raiders of The Ark who asked some Nadal fan to 'jump in river' but try 'not to pollute it' It really was vile stuff.

thats the one bud, but there was more, was disgusting. enjoy v2 its better than ja by far
